Cytus vs Guitar Hero Live
Cytus
Cytus is a fun and challenging, rhythm mobile game that has a rather striking futuristic/sci-fi theme and an intriguing story about how future robots try to save the human emotions they contain from being erased by storing them in the form of music. Cytus is the place where the music will eventually be kept.In terms of gameplay, the controls are easy to learn since there are, at most, 3 types of notes, but there are multiple ways of tapping on those 3 notes. Aside from its intuitive Active Scan Line system, Cytus also features over 200 songs and 400 variations of said songs. However, don't expect to be bip boppin' to the latest hits though. The songs are mostly just music (no singing) and they are often from the dance/electronic genre, though there are some from other genres, like pop, jazz, and trance, too.
Cytus is perhaps the first mobile game of its kind to include a really profound storyline in addition to its incredibly-addictive rhythm-based gameplay. If you're looking for a fun rhythm game for your mobile, this is definitely a game you'll want to play.
Guitar Hero Live
Guitar Hero Live is the Guitar Hero that Activision came up with after a long 5-year hiatus in the series. Featuring a recorded "live" audience, this game brings you a lot closer to actually being on stage playing to a crowd than ever before. In addition, your bandmates will react as they play alongside you as well. Try the game's first-person view and you'll get to feel like one of the band members as you play!One of the hallmarks of the Guitar Hero series, aside from its iconic guitar controller, is the insane music variety. From Ed Sheeran to System of a Down, to even indie bands, you can find a ton of your favorite songs to strum your plastic guitar to in this game. The game also has a multiplayer feature called Rivals where you can have a showdown with another player online. The best part about this game though is the Guitar Hero TV (GHTV). This allows your friends to enjoy the music video which is live-streamed in the background as you play to the music.
Playing music in front of what supposedly is a live audience is very different from playing for the sake of getting a perfect combo score. This is exactly the experience that Guitar Hero Live is trying to provide through its gameplay and it did a really great job of it.
